DDoS and brute force evaluation using Kali Linux virtual environment as an experimental platform.

Abstract

The research focuses on the evaluation of denial of service attacks like SYN Flood and brute force attacks, using a virtual network environment as an experimentation platform to identify how these attacks act in bandwidth saturation and discover the password. of the administrator user to be able to enter a website for malicious purposes. To validate this research, a mechanism for detecting and mitigating attacks on victim hosts was developed, at the Internet layer level of the TCP / IP model with the formulation of rules at the level of the Iptables firewall in Linux Centos 6.7.
